5 Basic Configuration

This chapter provides basic configuration instructions to get your HM210dp/di run and have your network connected to the Internet.

The instructions assume that the HM210dp/di is not predefined with any ATM VC, PPP or IpoA settings. For each connection method, example parameters are given for your better understanding. You should consult with your ISP to determine your connection mode and enter the actual values provided by your ISP.

NOTE! Your HM210dp/di may already be pre-configured with the necessary settings to get your network connected to the Internet. Contact your ISP to determine whether you should change any existing values.

5.1 Configuring the ATM Virtual Circuit

As your LAN computers access the Internet via the HM210dp/di, data is exchanged with your ISP through a complex network of telephone switches, Internet routers, servers, and other specialized hardware. These various devices communicate using a common language, or protocol, called Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). On the Wide Area Network (WAN) that connects you to your IPS, the ATM protocol performs functions like those that the Ethernet protocol performs on your LAN.

This section describes how to configure the ATM Virtual Circuit (VC). The VC properties define the path the HM210dp/di uses to communicate with your ISP over the ATM network.

5.1.1 Adding ATM VCs

You may need to create a VC if none has been predefined on your system or if you use multiple services with your ISP. Each service may require its own VC.

Follow these instructions to add an ATM VC Interface:

1. Select ATM > ATM VC to display the ATM VC Configuration page.

2. Click the Add button to display the ATM VC – Add page:
